Chávez terms "ridiculous" recommendations of the US Department of State

Ridiculous, this time I agree 85% with Comandante

Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez responded on Wednesday night to the statements made by US State Department spokesman Philip Crowley and described them as another "Yankee ridicule." Chávez read during a TV broadcast the news published by an international news agency according to which Crowley advised the Venezuelan President to travel less, focus on the problems of the country, and preside over a more constructive government.

"This is ridiculous, isn't it?"… Well, that's the way the Yankees act … This is Obama's administration. Who travels more, Obama or Chávez? Which government should be required to implement a more constructive administration, the government of Venezuela or Obama's administration?" wondered President Chávez.

Chávez added: "What about the (US military) bases in Colombia? Are they constructive?" Are the aggressions against Venezuela constructive? What about the aggressions against Cuba?"

So who travels more, Chavez or Obama? I'd like to see the figures.
